Inhaltsangabe

This book is a collection of speeches from the American Pomological Society meetings, a group of scholars that have championed the science and art of fruit cultivation in the United States since 1848. The speeches in the book address the development of fruit cultivation in America from the time of the Society's founding through 1885. These speeches touch on a multitude of topics, including how to cultivate fruit, how best to cross-pollinate plants for the most desirable results, and the best ways to store and preserve fruits. Throughout the book, the author highlights the importance of the Society's work in standardizing the identification of different fruit varieties, a task made increasingly urgent as the American frontier expanded westward and new fruits were discovered. The insights and innovations of the Society's members are relevant today, as they were when these speeches were first made.
